People celebrate in front of the Greek parliament as the people of Greece reject the debt bailout by creditors on July 6, 2015 in Athens, Greece. Christopher Furlong/Getty Images Good morning! Here are the 10 things you need to know in markets today.

Greece has overwhelmingly rejected the latest bailout package from European creditors in Sunday's referendum. According to preliminary figures from the Greek government, 61% of Greeks voted "No" (Oxi) to a bailout package that would enforce greater austerity measures, while 39% voted "Yes."

Greece's finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has resigned, according to a statement posted to his official website. In the statement he says: "Soon after the announcement of the referendum results, I was made aware of a certain preference by some Eurogroup participants, and assorted 'partners', for my… 'absence' from its meetings."

Eurozone nations will hold an emergency summit on Tuesday to discuss the Greek referendum "No" result after the German and French leaders called for a meeting, EU president Donald Tusk said. The Eurogroup will also hold a meeting on Tuesday before the summit to "discuss the state of play", Dijsselbloem said, while deputy finance ministers from the eurozone will meet on Monday.

The Australian dollar has tumbled to a 6-year low against the dollar. Market commentators are putting the slump down to the Greek referendum too, with declining risk appetite among global currency traders while the effects of the vote remain unclear.
